“Gotland before the ban on fishing for pike and perch”
“During the period 1 march to 31 may it is prohibited to fish for pike and perch in the kustvattenområdet in Gotland, according to SVT.”
“the Reason is that the stock has fallen drastically since the beginning of the 1990s.”
“– We follow the development of the stocks and we may see a slight increase of the perch the last few years, but when it comes to the pike, we see, unfortunately, not the same positive development, ” says Peter Landergren, länsfiskekonsulent at the county administrative board on Gotland.”
“In the future these restrictions may be even harder if the development continues to go in the wrong direction. Possibly can important spawning areas need to providing for the closure of the year. “
“If someone takes up and kills a pike or perch during the period to which the closure applies to the committed offences against the fisheries act.”
“– It should be reported to the police and investigated, it is about offences against the fisheries act, ” says Peter Landergren.”
